Water Heater Reductions, Money Saved

IDT Energy wants you to save on your energy costs. Here, you’ll find some incredibly easy tips for saving money on your energy bill. Here is a great one. Reduce your water heater thermostat from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You won’t notice a difference whatsoever in your showers or your household water use. What you will notice, instead, is a savings between 3-5% in energy costs with this simple adjustment.

What you’ll also notice is a slower buildup of minerals and corrosion in the water heater and pipes. This will help your water heater to last longer and to operate to its maximum capacity. In addition, you’ll avoid scalding which is possible when the water heater temperature is as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This win-win change can have a great influence on your energy bill and your safety!
